Québec is accepting public comments until December 11, 2026 on forest planning documents for six management units in the Outaouais.
The consultation covers units 071-51, 071-52, 072-51, 073-51, 073-52 and 074-51. It also includes special salvage plans for areas affected by spruce budworm in units 073-52 and 074-51.
A separate consultation on tactical and operational planning for the Forêt d’enseignement et de recherche Sicotte is open until December 24.
The ministry notes that mapped potential sectors may be considered months or years before work occurs. Public comments inform planning; the consultation does not itself authorize a specific harvest project.
